Just "dump_rmentry"

Why ratelmited?

No need to print anything if you fail to read it - simply dump the range
[pfn, pfn_end], _data[0], e_data[1] exactly *once* before the loop and
inside the loop dump only the ones you can lookup...

... and then you don't need this one either.

If this is using the current CR3, why aren't you simply using
lookup_address() here without the need to read pgd?

if (!pte)

Doh.

Who's going to use this, kvm?
